The conference will open with the KAIROS Blanket Exercise, a unique participatory history lesson, developed in collaboration with Indigenous Elders, knowledge keepers, and educators, that fosters truth, understanding, respect and reconciliation among Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples. This session promises to be especially meaningful given some of the brave but difficult conversations many of us experienced surrounding issues of race in our association and in our societies at last year’s REA annual meeting in Washington DC.
